Fire event on enter key press for a textbox

asp.net, event-handling, jquery

Solution

ASPX:

<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" clientidmode="Static" runat="server" onkeypress="return EnterEvent(event)"></asp:TextBox>    
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" style="display:none" Text="Button" />

JS:

function EnterEvent(e) {
        if (e.keyCode == 13) {
            __doPostBack('<%=Button1.UniqueID%>', "");
        }
    }

CS:

protected void Button1_Click1(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

    }

Problem

I have the following asp.net textbox control. ``` <asp:TextBox ID="txtAdd" runat="server" /> ``` After the user writes something in this textbox and presses the ENTER key, I want to run some code from codebehind. What should I do? Using jQuery I captured ENTER key and fired some hidden button event ``` $(document).ready(function(){ $(window).keydown(function(e){ if(e.keyCode == 13) $('#<% addbtn.ClientID %>'.click(); }); }); ``` Is there any better way ?
